THE CORPORATION OF THE
CITY OF PORT COQUITLAM

MEMORANDUM

TO: City Administrator June 17,
FROM: City Engineer

SUBJECT: Overhang on City Right-of-Way at 1584 Charleton Court
Public Works Committes June 16, 1987

Recommendations

That a Restrictive Covenant permitting overhang of a
sundeck to be constructed at 1584 Charleton Court over a
portion of City right-of-way as shown on the attached sketch be
approved by Council and that the Mayor and Clerk be authorized
to sign the appropriate agreement.

Background and Comments:

The property In. question Is a very large lot of over

20,000 square feet but which has Hyde Creek running through the
middie of it with a City right-of-way protecting Hyde Creek.
This right-of-way reduces the portion of the lot available for
building to something even smaller than a standard cul-de-sac
lot. in order for the owner to fit his proposed building on
the buildable portion of the lot, a portion of the sundeck
would have to overhang the City right-of-way by approximately
three teet as shown on the attached sketch. The right-of-way
line {is somewhat arbitrary and an overhang of this nature will
in no way affect the City's ability to maintain Hyde Creek.
The Fisherles Department has expressed no objections to this

overhang.

Thea City has in several cases in the past approved roof
overhangs over utility rights-of-way by means of a Restrictive
Covenant to be registered against the title. This Covenant
protects the City as well as the owner of the property. It Is
proposed that this same standard form of agreement be used In
this case to aliow the. owner +o build his sundeck over the

corner of the right-of-way.
